    Up here so high I start to shake, Up here so high the sky I scrape, I've no fear but for falling down, So look out below I am falling now, Falling down,...not staying down, Could’ve held me up, rather tear me down, Drown in the river

    "The Battle of Evermore" was even better than I imagined that it would be.....Alison does the Sandy Denny parts justice.

    Same here! I go to the LA Greek Theatre June 24. I hate that place (logistical nightmare every time) and I think only Plant or PJ would get me to go there.

    Saw the tour last night, in Cardiff, it was just wonderful. Excellent performances all round, what a great band of musicians. If you're going, just watch that drummer for a while, he's really something special :)
    Here's one or two shots, nothing special just camera phone jobbies:D

    - Boston Globe

    * “Not one song disappointed”
    – Chicago Sun-Times

    * “Exquisite”
    - New York Daily News

    “Pure genius.”
    -The Tennessean

    At least they play Seattle; Pearl Jam never seems to as of late.

    The article I posted which is the post just before yours, was a copy/paste from their website and included everything as of today. I'd keep checking 2 sites:

    http://www.robertplantalisonkrauss.com is their website for the tour and Raising Sand album. When dates become available, they'll probably be posted in this site first.

    http://www.robertplant.com is Robert's site. The webmaster in this site is very quick and very complete with regard to posting articles and news. There is a mountain of reviews from this tour and this would give you a flavor of the show.

    I personally was at the LA Greek Theatre on night 2 (6/24/08). All I can say is that if you like Raising Sand, don't miss this show. By the way, Zeppelin tunes in the regular rotation are Black Dog (radically changed), Black Country Woman, and Battle of Evermore (!!!). Sometimes, they'll include When the Levee Breaks. They do Plant's 1983 In the mood. A bunch of Raising Sand stuff, and a bunch of other stuff. I loved the show.

    EDIT: The http://www.robertplantalisonkrauss.com site has on sale dates. Here is Seattle info:
    Robert Plant and Alison Krauss
    Featuring T Bone Burnett

    WaMu Theater
    800 Occidental Ave. S.
